As they hurry toward their first-day classes, students find time to renew old friendships after the summer. Refreshments served by Mr. Kittrell and Mrs. Shaver were an added attraction to the annual art show. Our Wynne-ing Ways The people, teachers, and especially the pep rallies make high school a lot better than Jr. High,’ said Freshman James Burke. Most students could think of qualities that made WHS unique when given time to ponder the question. For instance, the Student Council’s interest in landscaping initiated the Campus Improvement Project. Clubs donated time and money for planting trees, grass, and flower beds, in addition to purchas- ing benches to place around the courtyard area. “The Campus Improvement Project is one of the best things I’ve seen students involved in during the eight years I’ve been principal here,” stated Darrell Smith. Our school was special in other ways also. Begin- ning in the fourth grade, students were tracked and placed in clases according to their learning ability. Some people, like Tammy Butler, wished “we were mixed up in other classes.” Others such as Barry Ford, felt differently. He said, “1 think it’s good be- cause people are allowed to work at their own speed.” Mrs. Cecelia Weeden thought the best part of our school was the “fact that students, teachers, parents, and the community all have the same goal in mind; to work for better education. People in our town supported any school activity, whether it was juniors selling mums and magazines, attending football games, or buying tickets to the school play. Parents worked on Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights to make money for the Band Boosters Club, while those interested in furthering education formed the Academic Boosters Club. As Tommye Curtner, our secretary summed it up, “We’ve never asked for support that we didn’t get.” 4 Openlng
